Print Recipe

A smoky, savory twist on classic deviled eggs featuring smoked paprika in the creamy yolk filling and topped with crispy prosciutto for a salty crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 to 1½ teaspoons smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4–5 slices prosciutto
  • Chives or fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions

  1. Place 6-8 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water about an inch above the eggs. Add 1 tablespoon white vinegar to the water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to an ice bath or run under cold water for at least 5 minutes. Gently tap and peel the eggs.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay prosciutto slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until crisp but not burnt. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Slice peeled eggs lengthwise and carefully scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. Add 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 to 1½ teaspoons smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash and whisk together until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
  6. Crumble crispy prosciutto over the filled eggs. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Serve immediately or chill until ready to eat.

Notes

Add vinegar to boiling water to help peel eggs easily. Use high-quality Spanish smoked paprika for best flavor. Crisp prosciutto in the oven and drain on paper towels to keep it crunchy. Piping the filling gives a prettier presentation but is optional. Prepare eggs a day ahead if desired, but add prosciutto just before serving.
